Kids in the Tree of Life Program at Trinity StJohn’s Church in Hewlett served up breakfast at their pancake dinner, on Feb. 17. The children dished out pancakes, eggs, bacon, sausage, fruit, coffee and orange juice. The cost was $15 per adult and $10 per child.
Families gathered together for a night of enjoyment while raising money for the church. The Tree of Life Program is a non-traditional Sunday school that uses fast-paced interactive curriculum where kids are joined with parents, according to Trinity St-John’s Church. Each
child must be accompanied by at least one adult who will participate fully in the experience. “Learning together about
God’s constant love,’ the church wrote on their website. “The real Tree of Life.” — Melissa Berman
